West Point posthumously admits shooting victim Peter Wang to Class of 2025
« on: February 20, 2018, 07:44:26 pm »
US. Military Academy West Point is posthumously admitting Florida school shooting victim Peter Wang, who dreamed of attending the prestigious academy.

Wang could have been in the Class of 2025. The 15-year-old’s funeral is today.

West Point will confer a letter of admission, along with honorarium tokens, to his family, local West Point alumni Chad Maxey said.

Oh, that's a lovely tribute to him.

Context is everything, but thanks for trying to snip it.  My original quote: "In my opinion, it's up to his family to decide how he is buried and/or honored.

Until his family decides, I am of the opinion that this petition is borderline dancing on his grave."

WP can and has done something noble.  The funeral wishes are for the family to decide.
